Andrew Collins is the CEO and co-founder of Bungalow, the largest co-living network in the United States. Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma among serial entrepreneurs, he studied sociology and economics at Princeton and earned an MBA from Wharton before deliberately collecting skills at Medallia, Facebook, and the startup studio Atomic. In 2017 he and Justin McCarty turned their own struggle to find affordable housing and friends in a new city into Bungalow, which furnishes homes and rents individual bedrooms at roughly 30% below the cost of a studio. The company has raised about $175 million, including a $75 million Series C in 2021, from backers like Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, and Coatue.
Luna House is Cascais' most-loved coliving and coworking hub — a boutique B&B with nine private rooms in summer, a digital nomad village with community programming in winter. Founded in 2022 by Olena (Lena) Matveieva, it offers coworking for 25 people with 120mb/sec fibre, an event studio, team workation packages, and a resident dog named Luna who consistently out-reviews the human staff.
